Cape of good hope weather

The Cape of Good Hope is an ordinary headland at the southwestern tip of Africa and a veritable traffic star.

It is not the southernmost tip of Africa, nor does it divide the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

Thanks to the popularity of fans, the Cape of Good Hope robbed Cape Gullers of his job.

It is 0/0.3 million kilometers away from the Imperial Capital/KLOC. In contrast, does Hainan dare to call itself the ends of the earth?

When people's understanding of the world is in chaos, they always think that the Indian Ocean is closed.

Later, some One Pieces from China, India and Arabia came to the waters in southern Africa.

1457, the Cape of Good Hope appeared on the map of Flamolo drawn by Venetians.

At that time, diaosi in Europe was full of yearning for the rich East.

1488, a Portuguese navigator named Diaz decided to open a sea route to race with bulls in the east.

As a result, when I arrived in southern Africa, I was caught in a storm and almost didn't come back alive.

When Diaz came home, he named this terrible place Storm Corner.

This passage is located in the south of 35 degrees south latitude, in the roaring westerly belt, and it is a world-famous squall line.

Area.

(What is the westerlies here?)

There are strong winds and bad weather all year round, especially in winter (July, August and September), with 40% strong winds and bad weather.

On the coast of Durban, South Africa, the annual wave height is 10 meter, and ships are often killed. It is called one of the most dangerous waterways in the world.

A few years later, when Diaz set sail again, he was killed in the storm angle and finally failed to see the Indian Ocean.

Now, there is a monument to commemorate these ambitious young lives hundreds of years ago.

The king of Portugal thinks the name Cape Storm is too unlucky.

In order to boost morale, it was renamed the Cape of Good Hope, which means a cape full of hope.

Finally, in 1497, another Portuguese navigator, Da Gama's fleet successfully crossed the Cape of Good Hope and finally arrived at the west coast of India.

From then on, until the Suez Canal was opened to traffic for more than 300 years, ships between Asia and Europe had to pass through the Cape of Good Hope.

The Cape of Good Hope is no longer a promontory, but a beacon of the rich East.

So far, large oil tankers can't get into the canal, or the canal tax is too high, so many ships still need to take the Cape of Good Hope.

The Cape of Good Hope belongs to the rainbow country of South Africa.

In the hundreds of years after the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, France and Britain successively landed on the land of South Africa.

Hundreds of years of colonization have also made South Africa an African country where whites and blacks live together.

Now, the Cape of Good Hope is a nature reserve in South Africa, 50 kilometers away from downtown Cape Town.

The wind is strong, the scenery is wild and there are many animals.

For example, African penguins bark like donkeys, and dogs are a little worried about whether it will be too hot ~ ~

And African ostriches

Compared with tourists, animals are calm.

Whether you are the Cape of Good Hope or the Cape of Storm, it is only a moment when nature dies.
